Police released descriptions of two suspects believed responsible for the theft of firearms from a city business last week.

Two semi-automatic rifles were stolen during a break-in Thursday evening at Pistol’s Plus on Highway 54. It is the third time in the last several months the business has had guns stolen.

Two subjects being sought were identified from the store’s surveillance camera.

One suspect is described as a white male, approximately 5-foot-10 to 6 feet with brown, clean cut hair, beard and mustache. He was wearing a brown Carhart-style hooded jacket, blue jeans and tennis shoes.

The other suspect is described as a white male with a fair complexion and light brown or strawberry-blond short hair. He was wearing a blue work-style zippered jacket with name and logo, work boots, and white ball cap with a colored front panel and logo.

The suspect wearing the Carhart jacket broke through the front glass of the business and stole two Bushmaster M4A1 .223 semi-automatic rifles.

The subjects had been in the store earlier in the day and were believed to have been driving a black or dark colored newer model Chevrolet or GMC extended cab pick up with a Duramax engine, according to a news release issued Sunday by the Osage Beach Police Department.

At the time of the burglary, they were in a medium-colored, newer-model Cadillac. Both vehicles appeared to be well maintained.

The Fulton, Mo., Police Department reported a similar incident during the early morning hours Saturday.

Anyone having information is asked to contact the Osage Beach Police Department at 302-2010.
